Vale - Dr. Kittipong Anantavanich

Dear CIGRE SC A3 colleagues,

I have the very sad duty to inform you that our very active and young promising regular member for the Thailand NC,Dr. Kittipong Anatavanich has passed away totally unexpectedly on 22nd January 2015 after suffering his disease with the age of 38 year old.

This is a big tragedy and terrible loss for his family, his friends, his colleagues at EGAT and our CIGRE SC A3 community. You will find an attached his obituary, which will be placed in the coming CIGRE newsletter in March. I cannot still understand that why this extremely difficulty happened to him.

SC A3 community were appreciated his technical contributions and also his kindness, it was pleasant to discuss with him during and outside the CIGRE meetings. He was one of the young regular members that represented the future in CIGRE SC A3. He will be missed in our community.
